steve; steve, are government subsidies a bad thing? >> absolutely, dave. it turned a catapult of college in an albatross. tuition is four times therate of inflation balse of subsidies and making killeds indentured -- kids indentured services. it is horrible. >> they come out of college with huge debts and can't get a job with a college degree. >> there is it a lot of things to be concerned about. i have to tell you, i find the question profoundly troubling. it leads to one answer. that is to say if you don't have money in the country, you shouldn't be able to go to college. how do you go to college if you don't have money? subsidies make money available for deserving killeds to go -- kids to go to school.

9:04 am
and hurt the economy in the future. to pay tax increases are come more debt issue to pay for these compts that. is not why these kids can't get jobs today. the economy is terrible. it shrank. it is it growing the normal four or five percent and many of the graduates would have jobbings. >> and rich, the fact is, we are subsidizing. we are subsidizing the college degrees that often don't amount to good jobs. >> yeah, it is it unfortunate. we reached the point where technology changed the whole game in a way we are beginning to realize. on line universities and couple of them started by two stanford professors and world class education for free or near free . what are employers looking for? intelligence and drive and discipline . it used to be a college degree
9:05 am
stood for those things and now they have faster and better ways to determine whether they want to hire someone. >> john, billions of dollars in government stub sidies for college education are worthless? >> they are worthless and i am not going to defend them but what botherings me is it a notionful a job that requires a college degree. i don't care if you want to be an investment banking analyst, there is nothing you learned in the four years that has nothing to do with the job you will eventually do . the idea that college is going to make us better or worse, jobbings are not plentiful because government is getting in the way of. >> emac a lot of the plumber jobs don't require college. but associates degrease pay more than the college jobbings. >> yes, a trade pays more. you can see it in the nuclear

medicine technology. >> these are associate degrees and don't require full four years. >> and should your child learn a trade instead. that is what is going on in finland and sweden. what bothers me is what families are paying for. you can write policiless and not hit anybody. what are the administrators doing? >> financial aid increased 438 percent since i went to college anyway and that is it adjusting for inflation. according to emac it lead toz burr - burrcratic bloat. >> college would cost less and kids would be taking on loans and service . instid uncle sam is making

9:08 am
bloat. >> the subsidies raise the cost. it doesn't matter if it is it housing or ethnoil. it makes it less affordable and that's why you have all of the debt. that makings it - makes it harder for the graduates to center a gadgood standard have had living. >> rich, up are saying, because of the nieto universities that could be the solution and next step and answer we can all agree on, correct? >> i invite our vuper to go to udasity.comand stee what is available for free. i am not saying it is worthless, but we are certainly paying too much and leading a lot of kids down a primrose path and promising stuff we can't deliver. employers want intelligence and drive and willingness to
9:09 am
learn. that's what they are looking for today. >> if you want the knowledge instead of the pres tig of the degree. you can get it with a thousand thanks to the nieto. >> john, you are talking about free market solution. is this a solution to the 100 billion problem. >> it is free market but this is not what parents and kids are baying. thape are buying a credential and presusume ttieto revolutionizes college education is nol valid. getting to rick's point. he wants lower tuition and wants college education to be available. best way to do that get government subsidies out there. and prices will fall like they have done for prevously hard to get goods. >> and the nation's labor boopered position are illegal
